Same here - GPSdrive version 2.10pre4, Slackware 12.0, KDE 3.5.7, on a Fujitsu 
ST4110 tablet (1024 vertical, 768 horizontal).

The -r and -s options appear to make no difference at all to the size of the 
window GPSdrive opens.

I managed to cope with the "undefined reference to 'get_mapnik_imagedata'" 
problem when compiling it by commenting out the line in map_handler.c, but 
now can't really use it because most of the application window is hidden 
behind my virtual keyboard near the bottom of the screen, or behind the KDE 
status bar below that.

Additional question - where / how do I tell GPSdrive where to find my GPS 
device now?  The last version of GPSdrive I used worked with gpsd, but this 
one seems to want to drive things on its own, but "gpsdrive --help" doesn't 
tell me how to tell it where to find the GPS receiver.


Thanks for any help.
